MarineQuest Boy Scouts Jamboree

Oceanography Badge Program

Ages 12-17

Does you troop or individual scout want to join the MarineQuest staff for a day of exploring the marine habitats of
coastal Wilmington and participate in lab experiments at the UNCW Center for
Marine Science, but is too small for a private group reservation? If so the MarineQuest Boy Scouts Jamboree is for you!

This day will begin with a tour of the Center for Marine Science
where Boy Scouts will learn about the variety of careers involved in marine
science (R,1) and have a chance to view the Gulf Stream display
and discuss how this underwater current influences our local
weather (R,2). In the MarineQuest lab, Boy Scouts will become
marine chemists as they examine the salts, gases and nutrients that make up our
oceans water (R,2 & 5) and marine geologists as they
explore the underwater world of ocean topography (R,4 & 9).
During the afternoon this program heads out for a variety of field activities
where Boy Scouts will explore the nutrient rich salt marshes(R,6 &
7) and discover the forces of ocean waves through Boogie Board
Oceanography (R,3). This is a full-day of fun, adventure and
learning.

This program will allow Boy Scouts to fulfill all the requirements for this
Badge except for requirement 8 which can be completed after the MarineQuest
program.

MarineQuest does not provide badges. A certificate of completed requirements
will be provided. Boy Scouts should provide the completed certificate to a Scout
Master who can then issue individual badges.
